While pale pinks and taupes been popular in weddings, trends featured in August’s Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta predict bold pops of color and more lush greenery for upcoming wedding seasons.

Always bringing garden party vibes to Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta, Chuck Milne’s gallery with Club Corp drew brides in with large statement arrangements, cascading greenery and punches of hot pink and orange. Read on for a look behind the design with Chuck Milne of Chuck Milne Productions.

What inspired this design? This design was inspired by a bride and her mother. The bride’s style was very organic, colorful, brave and whimsical. She had pinned a picture of a Mackenzie Childs chair she loved that had multiple patterns and was very whimsical. The mother of the bride was more traditional and preferred blush and gold. Our design was a nod to the pair with colorful and bold patterns channeling texture mixture like Mackenzie Childs, but with a touch of tradition throughout.

The cake display really caught brides’ attention, how did you make this a centerpiece? The cake design was inspired by the watercolor table linen. We took a photo of the watercolor linen, ran it through the computer, then Perfect Wedding Cake replicated it with a painted design. Rather than putting the beautiful cake on a standard table, we wanted it to sit up more and be a centerpiece for the whole design so we put it on a large urn with greenery.

There is an art to the perfectly designed table. Tell us about how you layered so many elements for a cohesive design. The bride loved fruit, she had tons of fruit images pinned on her Pinterest board so we incorporated oranges for a pop of color and depth. The linen was from I Do Linens and was at the center of much of the design. For the place settings, we took inspiration from the bride and her mother. Inspired by the bride, we did a leaf-shaped charger that was organic and whimsical. To give a nod to tradition for the mother’s style, we did vintage gold plates, gold silverware, and glassware.

What is your process like working with brides? Anytime I talk to brides, I will start by looking at their Pinterest board. Even if they don’t know what they want. Seeing images they like and have repinned is helpful to see their style. I take it as my job to reign in their style no matter how many different things they may have interest in.
